"English" Night at the Oscars
The English Patient, an epic romance set in Egypt and Italy during
World War II, surprised no one by being named the best motion picture
of 1996 at last night's 69th annual Academy Awards. The film -
universally picked by Oscar handicappers to win the top honor - also
won Oscars for art direction, sound, costume design, editing,
dramatic score, cinematography, directing and supporting actress.
The basic unit of information in this applet is a pair of data
(i.e., the actor and the movie). This unit is defined in an Awards
class. The applet declares an array of this data type and fills the
array with the pairs of data. The only real "trick" in this applet
is first reading the array data into the variables "m1" and "m2"
and then sending these variables to the canvas for display.
